PO: Respire - Gravity and Grace (FFO: Beau Navire, Yndi Halda)

[omik11303]

 

FFO: Archivist, Yndi Halda, Beau Navire, The Six Parts Seven, Via Fondo

 

From Narshardaa Records:

"Respire is a six-piece band from Toronto, Canada, who combine epic post-hardcore, screamo, and black metal into a very cohesive formula that drips of maturity and patience. Gravity and Grace is their debut LP - a sprawling memoir of genre-defying soundscapes, reverb-washed tremolo harmonies, cascading arpeggios, dreamlike textures and walls of distorted guitars roaring over frantic rhythms, punctuated by tormented vocals and a near-orchestral array of instruments and contributors. Themes of loss, addiction, heartbreak, and existential anguish paint a bleak picture, but somewhere over the horizon rests a glimmering sense of hope, resolve and forgiveness."

 

Co-released on vinyl through Narshardaa Records (EU), Zegema Beach Records (CA), and Ozona Records (USA).

 

Pressing Info: 100 Black, 200 White

This has occupied the top of my AOTY list ever since it was released this spring. Everybody should at least check it out.
